AgenciesNEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday called the arrest of climate activist Disha Ravi in the toolkit document case an “unprecedented attack on democracy”.
The 21-year-old activist was arrested on Saturday from Bengaluru for being allegedly involved in sharing the "toolkit" related to the farmer's protest on social media.
“Arrest of 21 yr old Disha Ravi is an unprecedented attack on Democracy. Supporting our farmers is not a crime,” Kejriwal tweeted.
Ravi, a graduate in Bachelor of Business Administration from a private college in Bengaluru, is also one of the founding members of a group named 'Fridays For Future India'.
The toolkit has been cited by some critics as a "proof" of her conspiracy to fuel protests in India.

 | Ravindran Subramanyam4 minutes ago Drisha in her mistaken zeal is supporting the very pseudo farmers of Punjab who think it is their divine right to burn rice stubble on large scale instead of turning it to compost. Does Disha realize the extent of pollution caused to Delhi? Why is Kejriwal silent about this? Does Disha and her climate activist friend Greta know the extent of pesticide pollution and soil spoilage due to indiscriminate use of fertilizers in Punjab? Does Disha know that the wheat produced in Madhya Pradesh is of better quality than the fertilizer polluted wheat of Punjab? Better Disha introspect before getting into such controversies as she has her career to think of and should involve in nation building activities. |
